There are many important actions taken by Washington together with the first congress, but we'll provide you with three of them as the question requests so: 1. Passing the first ten Amendments of the Constitution (Bill of Rights). There weren't proper constitutional provisions protecting the citizens' rights and liberties until the actual ratification of these 10 first Amendments in Dec 15, 1791; it was through the efforts of Madison, Washington and the First Congress that they came to be. 2. Planning the building of the first centralized US Bank. In order to establish financial order and security in the newly formed United States, the Secretary of Treasury Hamilton was given the lead position in building the "First Bank of the United States"; a supported and successful project by Washington and the First Congress. 3. Setting up the court system and precedents. The First Congress was responsible of applying and establishing further details of a new juridical system, as explained in the Judiciary Act 1789; it mainly established a Supreme Court, with inferior courts, too, based on precedents (previously decided cases as reliable basis).

Answer from: Quest

1) checks and balances- this idea is implemented in the constitution to ensure that no one branch of the federal government gains too much power. for example, the legislative branch(congress) can approve a bill that will then be sent to the executive branch (president). if the president does not like the bill or thinks that it violates the rights of citizens, he/she can veto the bill. vetoing the bill stops the bill from becoming a law. this check on power ensures that congress makes laws that do not violate the rights of citizens.

2) anti-federalists do not want to ratify the constitution unless it includes a bill of rights. the anti-federalists are worried that the constitution gives too much power to the federal government. having a strong central government caused problems when the us was still part of great britain. this is why the anti-federalists are fearful of this type of system.

3) federalists want a new constitution passed because it will fix america's weak political structure. before the us constitution is implemented, the constitution being used is known as the articles of confederation. this constitution has an extremely weak central government, allowing for disunity among the states.

can't do the whole thing, hope this
